To prepare silver-containing carbon fibers, silver nitrate was added to pitch and melt-spinning was performed. Silver nitrate was added by two different methods. One was the addition of it to raw pitch before reforming and the other was added to reformed pitch. The optimum spinning conditions were investigated by changing the spinning temperature, pressure, and winding speed. When silver nitrate was added to raw pitch, the softening point, viscosity, and spinnability of the reformed pitch were similar to those of non-silver-containing pitches. Because the decomposition of AgNO₃ was occurred during the reforming. The spinnability and productivity of this pitch were good at 335℃. When silver nitrate was mixed to reformed pitch, the softening point and viscosity of mixed pitch increased in proportion to the best spinning temperature was 345℃.Ag was uniformly distributed in the carbon fibers by installing the wire mesh in the spinneret.
